At FC Bayern Munich there are new developments on the goalkeeper construction site: Apparently Inter Milan is ready to pay the exit clause for Yann Sommer – while VfB Stuttgart is planning an improved offer for Alexander Nübel and two new names are being traded.

The Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano had previously reported that the 34-year-old Swiss and the club agreed. Inter’s previous goalkeeper André Onana is about to move to Manchester United.
Stuttgart gets loud sports1 meanwhile promptly submit an improved offer for Nübel. So far, VfB has reportedly offered a rental fee of 500,000 Munich. “Yes, we are in talks,” confirmed VfB sports director Fabian Wohlgemuth on Sunday’s interest in Nübel.
